Bookmark and consume at leisure. Or just dive in and devour comments greedily. That’s fine too.

What’s the greatest verse from a non rap song? I’ll submit “and I’d give up forever to touch you, because I know that you feel me somehow. You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be and I don’t want to go home right now.”

@Kazarelth Yes thought so / that game is something else. My other guess would have been assassins creed black flag with the Blackbeard sequence

[Shashank Mehrotra @_shashankm]

Well said!

One of the most important decisions you can make during the implementation of a large web publishing tool is "what content are we willing to hard-code, rather than providing CMS tools to edit and manage?"

It is important because you will always wish you'd said "none."

@alokebajpai My $0.02 - India needs to be broken down into markets. China is homogenous in demand and consumption. INDIA is not. And therefore the speed + adoption can never be the same as China. E-commerce hasn’t played out at the pace of China. 🛰 Penetration/per capita income same story.

This is an absolutely stunning story, that made my jaw drop.

The discovery of a small boy in a Pakistani marketplace revolutionized what scientists know about about how humans feel pain.

Populism is what we call democracy when we don't like the outcome.

When is this going to show up in India? @bookmyshow

A Star is Born is a bit like a well-known superhero origin story. The audience knows Lady Gaga can belt it, so when she's pulled on stage for the first time by Bradley Cooper, as when Eminem has to rap battle in 8 Mile, you know what's coming. And it's still satisfying.

Release the Kraken!

And yes, I also like Armageddon the movie. Can watch it anytime.

In product design its easy to anchor on cool features that that help to make you feel intellectually superior that you have unnatural attachment for. Where’s the line between ‘brilliant new feature’ and ‘delusion’?

Woke artisanal micro climactically appropriate organic hipster coffee in the bylanes of Chuim village this morning. Jazz music and nose rings in equal measure. Group hugs and American accents. Stereotypes. Anti stereotypes. Waiting for coffee hit to make sense of it all.
